History of Hofstra

In September 1935, Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University opened its doors as a coeducational commuter college in a three-story, white-shingled home with 19 faculty, 159 day students, and 621 evening students.

Today, Hofstra University is an institution of international reach and reputation with over 10,000 students, more than 148,000 alumni, 375 top-ranked undergraduate and graduate program options, and schools of law, medicine, and nursing.

The history of Hofstra is defined by the pioneering spirit of those first professors and students, whose pride and purpose are the foundation upon which our university continues to grow and thrive.

But long before Hofstra was founded, indeed before there was “Long Island,” the Indigenous peoples called this region Sewanhacky, Wamponomon, and Paumanake – sacred territory inhabited by the Carnarsie, Rockaway, Matinecock, Merricks, Massapequa, Nissequoge, Secatoag, Seatauket, Patchoag, Corchaug, Shinnecock, Manhasset, and Montauk. Each tribe had its own territory, whose boundaries were respected by the others, and all inhabitants were united in their shared desire for peace. The land that surrounds us is part of our history, and we want to protect that legacy and honor the Indigenous peoples who have made untold contributions to our region.

By the early part of the 20th century, the land where Hofstra sits was mostly estates and farms, bisected by Fulton Avenue, a treelined thoroughfare that led to the heart of Hempstead. In 1903, lumber magnate William Hofstra and his wife, Kate, purchased 15 acres of land, where they built their family home – now known as Hofstra Hall. The home was dubbed “The Netherlands” in recognition of William Hofstra’s Dutch ancestry. When William Hofstra died in 1932, he left his estate in his wife’s hands. Kate Hofstra died just over a year later, and she specified that the bulk of the estate and property was to be used for charitable, scientific, or humanitarian purposes, to be named in honor of William. This set the stage for the launch of Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University. By 1939, Hofstra College had established itself as an independent institution of higher education.

From the mid-1940s to late-1960s, enrollment mushroomed and 13 new academic buildings, including the John Cranford Adams Playhouse, named for Hofstra’s president at the time, were constructed. During this period, the annual Shakespeare Festival – performed on Hofstra’s historically accurate replica of the Bard’s Globe Stage – began.

The University’s growth continued as Hofstra became one of the first universities to be fully accessible to individuals with physical disabilities – years before a federal law was enacted. And the University’s program to provide highly motivated and diverse students with access to higher education – called NOAH – became a model for a similar New York state program.

Hofstra became Long Island’s first private university in 1963. Two years later, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered the commencement address.

By 1970, when the School of Law welcomed its first class, Hofstra was a residential campus, with six towers, a student center, and the Unispan pedestrian bridge rising above Hempstead Turnpike.

By the 1980s, Hofstra was hosting more than 500 cultural events annually, including art shows, film festivals, seminars, concerts, drama and dance programs, and national and international conferences. During this period, the campus grounds, blanketed with trees and blooming with thousands of tulips every spring, won official recognition as an arboretum from the prestigious American Public Gardens Association. Today, the campus is landscaped with more than 12,000 evergreen and deciduous trees representing 625 species and varieties, and dotted with 75 outdoor sculptures that are part of the permanent collection of the Hofstra University Museum of Art.

In 1982, Hofstra’s distinction as a center for presidential study began with a conference that brought together government officials, journalists, and historians to examine the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The University has since hosted presidential conferences on every president from FDR to Barack Obama. This scholarly tradition led directly to the establishment of the Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency and, eventually, to Hofstra becoming the only university in the nation to host three consecutive U.S. presidential debates (2008, 2012, and 2016). Two Hofstra presidential debates rank among the top 10 most watched in television history. These events drew thousands of international media to campus, provided extraordinary civic engagement opportunities for students, and solidified Hofstra’s reputation as a university dedicated to the study of the politics and policy of the presidency. In all, seven U.S. presidents have visited Hofstra’s campus: Dwight D. Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump.

As the 20th century ended, the University opened Breslin Hall, a building dedicated to classrooms; established the School of Communication; named the School of Business for alumnus, chair emeritus of the Hofstra Board of Trustees, and former NASDAQ Chairman and CEO Frank G. Zarb; and welcomed among its commencement speakers, Long Island native Billy Joel.

In 2011 and 2015, respectively, Hofstra and Northwell Health launched the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/ Northwell and the Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies – both dedicated to training the next generation of healthcare providers with a new model focused on community-based care.

The creation of the School of Health Sciences (formerly the School of Health Professions and Human Services), the Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science, and the Peter S. Kalikow School of Government, Public Policy and International Affairs followed. Meanwhile, the School of Law was named for law alumnus Maurice A. Deane (1926-2020), former Endo Laboratories executive who served as chair emeritus of the Hofstra Board of Trustees. The School of Communication was named for Pantone Matching System inventor, Hofstra alumnus, and trustee emeritus Lawrence Herbert.

Modern buildings were constructed for the medical school and the Zarb School of Business, which turned 50 in 2016. The Leo A. Guthart Hall for Innovation and Discovery is a high-tech wonder that includes a behavioral research in business lab, an enhanced business incubator, and Hofstra’s Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The interdisciplinary, state-of-the-art Cybersecurity Innovation and Research Center trains students to detect and defend against cybercrime and created partnerships among industry, government, and education to analyze threats and strengthen network security.

In July 2021, Honors College was named for retiring Hofstra President Stuart Rabinowitz and his wife, Nancy, to recognize their decades of service to the University.

In August 2021, Hofstra welcomed Susan Poser as its ninth president and first woman to lead the University. President Poser immediately announced the launch of a campaign to engage the entire campus community in a conversation about Hofstra’s future – a future that articulates pathways for students from college to career, expands the University’s core commitment to diversity and inclusion, and builds on Hofstra’s strong foundation of faculty research and scholarship. A year later, in July 2022, Dr. Charles Riordan joined the University as provost and senior vice president for academic affairs.

Hofstra continues to invest heavily in growing the scholarly and research enterprise of the University, as well as in programs that encourage civic engagement and community service, including The National Center for Suburban Studies at Hofstra University, Center for Civic Engagement, and Center for “Race,” Culture and Social Justice.

Our schools continue to innovate across the curriculum with new programs, including the nation’s first Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) that leads to a combined Acute Care Nurse Practitioner and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. We continue to offer awardwinning programs such as our student-run radio station, WRHU-88.7 FM, which is a four-time Marconi Award winner. In 2021, WRHU became the first student-run radio station to receive the World Radio Day Award from the Academy of Radio Arts and Sciences of America. In 2022, the Herbert School forged a partnership with WABC-TV and became home to its Long Island news bureau.

In fall 2023, the University opened the Science & Innovation Center. This 75,000-square-foot building provides modern laboratories and collaborative spaces for the Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies and the Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science. With this state-of-the-art facility, Hofstra provides students with a dynamic STEM education that will shape the next generation of scientists, engineers, and healthcare professionals.

As Hofstra approaches its centennial year in 2035, President Susan Poser engaged faculty, administrators, students, alumni, and the Board of Trustees in a collaborative process to examine Hofstra’s strengths and ambitions and create a strategic plan for its future. Hofstra 100, unveiled at the start of the fall 2024 semester, sets forth four primary goals that leverage Hofstra’s distinctive strengths: interdisciplinary and new academic programs; community engagement; student success; and organizational agility.

Hofstra’s commitment to our community is evident in all we do – from programs such as Hempstead for Hofstra/Hofstra for Hempstead, which provides scholarships for local students, to our medical-legal partnership with the Deane School of Law, Northwell Health, and the New York State Bar Association, which provides much-needed legal services and medical care to community members across Long Island and New York City, regardless of the ability to pay.

Much has changed since those first students and faculty arrived, but Hofstra’s core values are enduring. Eighty-five years ago, when Hofstra separated from New York University, members of the first graduating class were given a choice. They could receive their degrees from NYU, or from Hofstra.

They chose Hofstra.

Hofstra Pride and Purpose. Then, now, and forever.

Commencement Notes

THE FLAG

The Hofstra flag, bearing the seal of the University, was presented to Hofstra on April 19, 1940, by Dr. Alexander Loudon, envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary, in the name of Her Majesty, Wilhelmina, queen of the Netherlands. The seal is derived from the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The motto, “Je maintiendray,” means “I stand steadfast.”

THE CEREMONIAL MACE

The ceremonial mace, carried by the grand marshal in the academic procession, was given to Hofstra by Halsted Billings Vander Poel, son of former trustee W. Halsted Vander Poel.

The mace is made of silver with a shaft of ebony. Its design is based upon one of the oldest maces of Yale University, dating from the time of Queen Anne. Engraved upon the head is the Hofstra seal. Around the upper portion of the haft appears the quotation from the Book of Proverbs: “The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the Lord hath made even both of them.”

The history of the mace in ceremonies begins in the 13th century when ceremonial maces were borne by the sergeant at arms, a royal bodyguard established in France by Phillip II and in England by Richard I. When used in our commencement exercises, its presence symbolizes the authority by which commencement is held and under which degrees are granted.

THE MARSHALS’ SCAPULARS

The marshals in the academic procession wear specially designed scapulars of their offices. The scapulars draw their basic characteristics from the official seal of the University. Each is designed against a background of silver thread, laid with gold lace and embroidered threads of red, blue, and green, the colors of the Hofstra seal.

The scapular of the grand marshal carries the University seal in full color as the breastplate. The breastplates of the other marshals are linked with other significant sections of the seal. The badges of the trustee and guest marshal, faculty marshal, and graduate marshal carry four, three, or two tassels of gold, in order of rank, while the scapulars of the highest rank, grand marshal, and the baccalaureate marshal are without tassels. Assistant marshals carry batons.

ACADEMIC HERALDRY

The wearing of caps, gowns, and hoods at college and university functions dates to the Middle Ages, when they were first worn by monks and students for warmth in the damp and drafty 12th-century castles and halls of learning. Through the years, their styles and colors have come to represent certain specific meanings.

Gowns for the bachelor’s degree have a semistiff yoke, long pleated front, and intricate shirring across the shoulders and back. The bachelor’s gown is worn closed and is distinguished primarily by its long pointed sleeves.

The gown for the master’s degree has the same yoke effect as that of the bachelor’s, but is designed so that it may be worn open or closed. The back of the sleeve is oblong and cut square, with the front part carrying a cutaway arc.

Gowns for the doctoral degree may also be worn open or closed. They have long velvet panels down the front and three velvet bars on the bell-shaped sleeves. This velvet trimming may be either black or the color distinctive of the field of learning to which the degree pertains.

Members of the Hofstra University Board of Trustees wear academic robes and caps in the distinctive colors of the University. A small, embroidered replica of the seal of the University is worn on each lapel.

It is the hood that gives color and definitive meaning to the academic costume. The hood is of varying sizes for master’s and doctoral degrees and of material to match the gown. It is lined with the color or colors of the institution conferring the degree. The hood is bordered with velvet of the proper width and color to indicate the field of learning.*

THE GONFALONS

Of the 14 gonfalons, three of the fishtail ensigns plus the Hofstra seal were first presented in University ceremonies during the dedication of the Hofstra Library in 1967. The gonfalon for the Maurice A. Deane School of Law was added in 1970, followed by the Hofstra University Libraries gonfalon in 1993, The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication gonfalon in 1996, the Stuart and Nancy Rabinowitz Honors College gonfalon in 2001, the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell gonfalon in 2009, and the Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science and the School of Health Sciences gonfalons, both dedicated in 2013. The gonfalons of the Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies; Peter S. Kalikow School of Government, Public Policy and International Affairs; School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics; and School of Humanities, Fine and Performing Arts were dedicated in 2015.

The history of the ceremonial use of gonfalons seems lost in antiquity. Probably best remembered is their appearance at the head of the parades of the Crusades where they presented the coats of arms of legion commanders. The gonfalons of Hofstra carry the seals of the colleges and schools of the University.

The seal of Hofstra is worked in threads of gold, silver, red, blue, and green against a background of white silk, derived from the great seal of the House of Orange-Nassau, and is at the center of the stage. (See note under “The Flag,” on page 8.)

The gonfalons are displayed from left to right.

The gonfalon of Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences carries the seal of the province of Friesland, the original home of the Hofstra family. The fishtail below the seal has the colors of Hofstra, blue and gold, at the left and right, and the colors of the college, white for arts and gold for sciences, through the center.

The gonfalon of the School of Education carries the seal of the province of Groningen. The colors of Hofstra, blue and gold, trim the gonfalon, while the light blue of education is the center color.

The gonfalon of the Frank G. Zarb School of Business carries the seal of the province of Gelderland. The University colors of blue and gold trim the gonfalon, with the traditional “drab” filling the center stripe of the fishtail.

The gonfalon of the Maurice A. Deane School of Law carries the seal of Noord Brabant province, is trimmed in the University colors of blue and gold, and carries a band of purple through the center to indicate law.

The gonfalon of the Hofstra University Libraries carries the seal of the province of Rotterdam. University colors of blue and gold trim the gonfalon. The center area carries the colors of the Hofstra colleges and schools and is overlaid with a band of lemon yellow, representing the discipline of library science.

The gonfalon of The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication carries the seal of the province of Arnhem. The University colors of blue and gold trim a center panel of crimson representing communication.

The gonfalon of the Stuart and Nancy Rabinowitz Honors College adapts the seal of the Frisian town of Tytsjerksteradiel. The gonfalon design uses the University colors in a traditional woven heraldic pattern representing the interrelationship of disciplines in Rabinowitz Honors College.

The gonfalon of the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell carries an emblem representing the “staff of Asclepius,” the traditional symbol of medicine. It is trimmed in green to represent the discipline of medicine, and carries bands of the University’s and Northwell Health’s colors.

The gonfalon of the Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science carries the seal of the House of Orange-Nassau coat of arms. University colors of blue and gold trim the gonfalon. The orange center represents the degrees conferred by the school.

The gonfalon of the School of Health Sciences carries the seal of the province of Overijssel. The University colors of blue and gold trim the center panel of sage green, representing health sciences.

The gonfalon of the Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies carries an emblem of a shield and flame to represent the professions of nursing and physician assistant studies. It is trimmed in purple to represent leadership, and carries the colors of blue, orange, red, and yellow to represent collaboration, humanism, courage, and innovation. The flame breaking through the shield embodies the break from the traditional model of education.

The gonfalon of the Peter S. Kalikow School of Government, Public Policy and International Affairs is derived from the Dutch city of The Hague, the seat of government of the Netherlands and the seat of the United Nations International Court of Justice. The words “vrede” and “recht” translate into “peace” and “justice,” the cornerstones of the Kalikow School. The center of the gonfalon includes the three branches of the U.S. government, with the crown being replaced by people, symbolizing a government “by the people.” The gonfalon was created by Peter S. Kalikow, a proud alumnus of Hofstra University.

The gonfalon of the School of Natural Sciences and Mathematics displays symbols within a shield that represent the atom, symbolizing the natural sciences; pi (π), symbolizing mathematics; and two lions, symbolizing Hofstra pride. The colors represented in the gonfalon symbolize pure reason (white), growth (green), clarity (black), and order (purple), along with the University’s traditional blue and gold.

The gonfalon of the School of Humanities, Fine and Performing Arts displays symbols within a shield that represent the key to learning, symbolizing humanities; eye and primary colors, symbolizing the visual arts; masks of comedy and tragedy placed on a musical scale, symbolizing performing arts; and lions, representing Hofstra pride. The colors represented in the fishtail symbolize the array of disciplines incorporated in the school, along with the University’s traditional blue and gold.

ACADEMIC HONORS

Some undergraduate students are identified as Latin Honors recipients and candidates. They have earned this distinction by maintaining a high grade point average and by completing the requirements for University honors. Latin Honors are conferred upon students who have achieved the following grade point averages:

summa cum laude 3.85

magna cum laude 3.75

cum laude 3.60

Dean’s List honors are awarded each semester to students who earn a 3.5 or higher grade point average.

Provost’s Scholars are full-time students who achieve a 4.0 grade point average in a given semester.

At its own award ceremony, the Stuart and Nancy Rabinowitz Honors College confers designations of: Graduate with Distinction (30 honors credits with departmental honors, 3.6+ GPA); Graduate (30 honors credits, 3.4+ GPA); Associate (18 honors credits, 3.4+ GPA); and Graduate with Recognition (24 honors credits to include transfer honors credits, 3.4+ GPA).

Students earning Departmental Honors or High Honors have performed substantial individual research in the field of their major, under close faculty supervision, on a topic of their special interest, and have defended their research or thesis before a departmental committee.

This is the unofficial program of the 2024 midyear commencement exercises. Degrees and honors will be awarded only upon successful completion of all requirements. This program is based on information available at the time of printing, and changes may occur based on pending outcomes. The official program will be archived in August 2025.

LATIN HONORS

The following students graduated August 31, 2024, or will graduate December 31, 2024, or January 31, 2025. Degree candidates and recipients with a final grade point average of 3.6 or higher qualify for Latin Honors.
